63 headlight switch
Last momth I replaced my headlight switch With a $ 50 napa replacement. For some reason my tail lights and dash lights are now on at all times. I went back to the parts catalog and could not find a listing for a 63 switch, Only ones for 64 -67. Do I the wrong switch Has anyone run into this Or do I have other problems I no longer have the old switch to try Thanks in advance Steve B. Western Ma

63 light switch
The 63 switch is readily available. I suspect you may have something else happening. I believe your light switch handle may not be engaged far enough into the switch. If the light switch handle doesn't go in far enough, the switch thinks the lights (running and dash) should be on. This is easy to test. Just take your light switch back out of the dash, hook it back into the harness (while it is still out of your dash cluster), re-insert the switch handle, then check your lights. This has happened to me many times now on my 63 and 60,
